I have kept the same directory structure as used by altera. Thus files can still be found in the same place. I have left out only whole files. Thus those files which are there can be compared directly. Adding files which are currently left out should be easy: Simply copy them into the corresponding sub-directory, add them to the Makefile.am, run the required bootstrap and use them.
If this would help I could also split the process of adding the hwlib a little further: One commit for adding the whole hwlib. And another commit for deleting those files currently not required. > > How is hwlib versioned by Altera? Will it be easy to go back to the same > version > and get matching pieces? Currently they do offer old versions for download on their web site.

Actually I have reduced the size of this patch because the previous version of this patch was over 18 MBytes big (applied). Sebastian and I thought this will never get accepted.
